if all my friends had to agree with my political views, i wouldn't have any!

you can't reasonably expect government to ever solve the problems that its existence creates.

you *can* deny the real cause
of the problem and focus in on medicating the symptoms, but that won't
ever make anything any better.

you *can* deny the past, live
in the now, and forgo choosing your own future, but that won't ever
make anything any better, either.

a new improved better
brainwash program won't solve the problems of having a brainwashed
society. and there is no good government that will ever come to save us
from the bad government. there never was, and there never will be.

What if?

Imagine what the world might be like if all people chose to look within themselves for all the answers. Imagine a world without governments and wars, because each person would be self-governing. Each person would define for themselves what is right and wrong, and in so doing would learn to respect everyone else's autonomy. Just imagine! There would be no written laws, because the Law lies only in each person's heart. There would be no jails, no poverty, no abuses against humanity. Why is it that many people find this so hard to imagine? It's the only thing that really makes sense to me. I don't understand when people hurt people. I don't get it, why anyone would ever kill another person. There's no reason good enough. So what if I am right? What if everyone really does have the ability to know the difference between right and wrong, if they'd only look within and trust their intuition? What is stopping my dream from becoming reality?

Let's take this a step further. Let's imagine the above scenario is true. What would religion look like in such a world? What if religion were defined by each individual for themselves? What if nobody ever told anyone else what to believe? What not to believe? What if the fear were gone, and people were free to find their own Divinity, inside themselves? It would not be a godless world, as some philosophers have said. It would rather be a very magical world! Religion and spirituality would be as real and important to people's lives as the air we breathe or the water we drink, because nobody would make anyone else afraid to believe the truth that lies within.

WHAT IS ANARCHY?

"What I'm talking about is the Golden Rule. It really is that simple. Give every other person the same Respect you deserve to get from them. But don't do it because I said so. Do it because you realize it's the right thing to do. Respect everyone's right to autonomy, the ability to subjectively make their own decisions without some objective expert or authority telling them what to do. Every one of us, no matter who we are, where we live, to whom we pray, and how much money we have, all of us has inside ourselves the ability to know right from wrong, to make decisions for ourselves. I know I do. I know you do. I know that all those other people do too, even if some of them refuse to listen to its voice."
